Best practice: Implementing title bars
• If you want to add an icon to the title bar, consider adding the icon only to the title bar that appears on the first screen in
an application. This approach allows you to add a branded element to the title bar as well as help users differentiate the
top screen in your application.
• Include the time in title bars if users need to refer to the time often in order to use the application.
• Include wireless connection indicators in title bars if the application requires a wireless connection.
• Include application notifications and wireless connection notifications in title bars if users typically stay in the
application for a long period of time.
• Consider including the battery power indicator in title bars if the application significantly impacts battery life. By
default, the battery power indicator appears only when the battery power level is low or if the battery is charging.
• Use title case capitalization.
